nice car

as for sprints, you cannot fit 5.5 four lug sprints on the back with stock axles, without rolling the fender lip, and rolling the fender itself out a little bit, and banging the inner fender a little bit. I've done it on the notch below, it took all of the above and a lot of playing with inner and outer splines in order to fit them. too low and it rubs the top of the tire on the inner fender, too high and the sidewall will smack the inner lip. It looked great though, these are on 165's.

these are 4.5's all the way around on 165's. I had 5.5's that I traded for 4.5's just because I did not want to go through all of that again.

In my opinion, the best 4 lug wheel. Original Empi, and they look great.
